"I am honored to be a graduate of GS10KSB Cohort 30, which allows me to gain access to an extensive Network of more than 16,000 alumni and professionals in all 50 states," Abublan said. "As an alumnus, I am excited to be a part of a diverse community that consists of owners and entrepreneurs from various industries and companies of all sizes. GS10KSB creates an accomplished and supportive network of business leaders that extends beyond graduation."
The Goldman Sachs Foundation partners with the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) for its
10,000 Small Businesses
outreach and selection process. The
10,000 Small Businesses
local programs are administered in partnership with community colleges across the country and is fully funded by Goldman Sachs with no cost to participants.
Since opening the nation's first authentic shawarma franchise in Irving, Texas, in 2017, Abublan and co-founder Dr. Ehap Sabri have expanded with multiple locations throughout Texas and Georgia. With a goal of staying on top of the latest trends and developments in franchising, their strategy included a mix of traditional locations as well as non-traditional food spaces inside Walmart. The brand's headquarters is located in Irving, Texas with a flagship restaurant in downtown Dallas-Arts District. The first out of State location opened recently in metropolitan Atlanta in Johns Creek with additional locations are in various stages of development, earning recognition in the franchise industry with awards such as Fast Casual's Top 100 Movers and Shakers, Most Innovative Supply Chain and an Innovation Award presented by Franchise Update Media, and two gold Stevie Awards for franchising.
"No matter how much we have accomplished, I always feel there is more to learn and opportunities for growth with any business," Abublan said. "Cohort 30 offered valuable insights and connections from like-minded professionals across the country. As an alumnus, I am looking forward to mentoring future GS10KSB participants as well."
